Okay, so it's 2021, and we can all breathe a sigh of relief now that 2020 is behind us, right? NOT. It's true that COVID-19, wildfires, riots, looting and a contentious presidential election took a toll on all of us, but in my opinion, the challenges - besides the pandemic, of course - were no different than any other year. Nothing irked me more last year than to hear people say, "I wish we could just fast forward to 2021," or "Can't 2020 just be over already?" Pardon my frankness, but I thought that was a "loser mentality," akin to giving up and throwing in the towel. I thought, man, if you think all your problems are going to go away the minute the ball drops and the calendar clicks over to January 2021, you're sorely mistaken. Besides, people should be thankful for every breath they take. Time moves fast enough without wishing it to move even faster. All the obstacles that reared their ugly head last year have happened before. They were nothing new if you look back in history. So, what was the big deal? |
